DONALD Trump may sue after he was fooled into tweeting a picture of Fred and Rose West.

Comic Philip Bradbury tweeted the US tycoon saying: “My parents who passed away always said you were big inspiration. Can you retweet for their memory?”

Trump then retweeted the serial killers’ picture to his 2.7million followers.

The message was quickly shared on the multi-millionaire's feed by his media team but was taken down 40 minutes later after they realised their embarrassing mistake.

Twitter users began to congratulate the prankster and within an hour it had been retweeted 2,500 times.
